BNSYC Friday Fun Quiz!

As the Tour de France heads into the mountains and we head into the Saturday x Sunday "collabo" that is the weekend, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz. Please know that I have no intention of revealing which rider is in which "colorway" as of the conclusion of today's Tour stage, so you can rest assured this quiz is absolutely 100% Tour de France spoiler-free. It is also glatt kosher, vegan safe, and fair trade--though I cannot warrant that it is cruelty-free, nor is it completely NJS due to the 32-spoke wheels.

10) Which rider waited for the light to turn green before crossing the intersection? The guy on the bicycle wearing the blazer, or the guy on the motorcycle wearing the "Brooklyn's Most Wanted" leather vest?

Speaking of Retina-Searing Über-Custom Bicycles, last week I saw an early '90s Serotta that was hot pink fading into neon yellow. I didn't know whether to puke or hand the guy a medal for courage. Need to start bringing my camera along.

Le Roy, what's amazing about Bob Roll is is ability to avoid spittle through that massive tooth gap. In the old days, this would allow power grimacing without air constriction, and allow valuable protein consumption via insects. Today, we have energy gels for all this.

David Millar looked right shagged at the end of yesterday's stage, he really could have used some EPO.

I'm still reeling from the Andreu-Armstrong interview, I was expecting a major bitch-slapping session to ensue...but nothing.

I resent the implication that I'm a racist (but ethnic nationalism, xenophobia, and racism are three different schools of thought completely) - I'm just sayin' those Iberians are up to something, is all.

I think that is actually a sport coat and not a blazer. Hard to tell from the back, but maybe Snobby has some insight since was there taking pics.

Those idiots on the crotch rockets wearing biker gang costumes, however, wtf? And real bikers don't wear helmets and definitely NOT tennis shoes. "Hi guys! Tennis anyone? Let me slip out of these grimy old things and into my whites. See you on the court!"

that hideous seven is also rolling on some mavic reflex tubular hoops. This is an excellent tire system for those inner-city miles. If you get a flat, you simply pull the tire, cut the seam, pull the tube, patch it, stuff it back in, sew up the seam, apply glue, wait 12 hours, apply another thin coat, and remount the tire. then wait for it to cure overnight(depends on temp and humidity), and PRESTO you are off on your way again.

About Me

While I love cycling and embrace it in all its forms, I'm also extremely critical. So I present to you my venting for your amusement and betterment. No offense meant to the critiqued. Always keep riding!
